EA and DICE have promised regular updates for Star Wars Battlefront and the company’s recently made good on that promise.

A brand new Star Wars Battlefront patch is available for PS4, Xbox One and PC and it brings new features, tweaks and bug fixes to all three platforms.

As we push away from the release of the January Star Wars Battlefront update, we’re starting to get feedback about its quality. While some gamers are excited that EA and DICE finally nerfed overpowered weapons and Boba Fett, others are having problems with the latest release.

This roundup takes a look at these January Battlefront update problems, offers some potential fixes and looks at what’s next for the game and those who are experiencing problems after installing the 1.04 patch on PS4, PC or Xbox One.

Playing the Objective Trophy Problem

The January Star Wars Battlefront update arrived with a number of bug fixes on board. Here is the list from the official change log:

EA says that it’s aware of the problem and that the team is looking into the issue behind the scenes. It’s clear that the January update failed to bring a permanent fix for the problem and we expect EA and DICE to update gamers with new information soon.

Other January Battlefront Update Problems

The Trophy issues aren’t the only problems with the new January Battlefront update. Gamers are reporting a number of other problems with the latest patch.

We’re aware that some of you within the community do not agree with some of the balance changes, and I am working with our team to provide more insight in the coming week around those changes. We are also aware that some of the bug fixes outlined seem to have not resolved some reported issues (looking at you ‘Playing the Objective’). I am looking into these reports and again will follow up as soon as I have details to share.

The companies have also acknowledged lingering issues with the A-Wing fighter. The company is looking for feedback about those issues and hopes to have fixes in place later this month.

How to Report Battlefront Problems

When and if you run into a problem with the January Star Wars Battlefront update, you should report it to EA and DICE so that they can fix it in a future update. Here’s what you need to do.

The EA Star Wars Twitter account is a great place to start. The account is helping users find solutions and it appears to be passing along feedback to the team working on software upgrades behind the scenes.

A specific release date hasn’t been confirmed and we don’t expect EA and DICE to reveal the official details until just before the release.

After that, the companies will push a free March update that will bring new features and hopefully, some additional bug fixes.

We could see smaller updates arrive in between but these are the two that the companies made official earlier this week.

Star Wars Battlefront DLC: 5 Reasons to Get Excited

The Death Star

1 / 5

EA and DICE will be releasing four paid expansion packs for Star Wars Battlefront. The first will be Outer Rim, a DLC that focuses on the planet Sullust and Jabba's Palace in Tatooine. After that, it's Bespin, which will focus on Cloud City (and probably include Lando).

After that comes The Death Star DLC. The Death Star DLC arrives this Fall and that's all I really need to say about that.

The Death Star is one of the iconic locations in Star Wars and it should provide intense close quarters combat that's perfect for Heroes vs. Villains and Cargo.

EA is saying that it's not going to be releasing space battles in Battlefront but I'm still holding out hope for a Fighter Squadron type game mode that takes us outside the massive space station.
